Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The Grand Hotel in Harrogate was looking to revitalise its famous afternoon tea service, wanting tableware that matched the historic elegance of their drawing-room. They chose the Royal Crown Derby Crushed Velvet collection to replace their standard white porcelain.

"The new plates are simply stunning. Guests constantly comment on them. They don't just hold the food; they present it. It feels like we've added another layer of luxury to the experience without changing a single recipe."

Clara Beaumont – Head of Hospitality

Since the change, the hotel has noted a marked increase in social media shares of their afternoon tea and  guest satisfaction scores for presentation have risen by over 20%.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Unpack carefully, inspecting each plate for any transit damage before first use.
  • Wash thoroughly in a commercial dishwasher or by hand with a soft cloth before first service.
  • Ensure plate warmers are set to a suitable temperature; avoid extreme thermal shock.
  • Stack with care, using plate separators if storing for long periods to protect the textured surface.

Keeping It Going

  • While dishwasher safe, avoid abrasive detergents or scouring pads which can dull the finish over time.
  • Load into dishwasher racks carefully, ensuring plates do not knock against each other during the cycle.
  • To remove stubborn marks like tea stains, use a gentle, non-abrasive cream cleaner.
  • Regularly check for any small chips or cracks, removing any damaged items from service immediately.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Crockery

Not sure what fits your business best? Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing your restaurant's plates.

Material Matters

Bone China (like this) offers a premium, lightweight feel, while porcelain is a heavier, robust workhorse. Vitrified stoneware provides a rustic, earthy look. Choose the material that best reflects your brand.

Shape & Style

Coupe plates offer a modern, rimless canvas for creative plating. Rimmed plates are classic and  help contain sauces. Consider what style best frames your signature dishes.

Durability and  Chipping

Look for features like 'rolled edges' or 'chip resistant' guarantees for high-volume settings. Bone china offers surprising strength for its weight, but all crockery needs careful handling.

Stacking and  Storage

Check if the plates are designed to stack neatly and  securely. A uniform 'foot' on the base helps stability and  saves precious shelf space in a busy kitchen.

Practical Considerations

Always check if a range is dishwasher, microwave, and  oven safe. Versatility is key in a professional kitchen, saving you time and  hassle during service.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is 'coupe' style?

A: A coupe plate has a shallow, rimless design, creating a smooth, uninterrupted surface from edge to edge. It's a popular modern style favoured by chefs for creative food presentation.

Q: Is fine bone china strong enough for a restaurant?

A: Absolutely. While it feels delicate, fine bone china is renowned for its high mechanical strength and  chip resistance, making it perfectly suitable for demanding commercial environments when handled correctly.

Q: Can these plates be used in a plate warmer?

A: Yes, these plates are safe for use in professional plate warmers. We recommend gradual heating to avoid any risk of thermal shock.

Q: Is the texture on the plate difficult to clean?

A: No, the 'crushed velvet' texture is part of the glaze. It's not porous and  is fully sealed, making the Royal Crown Derby FE134 plates completely dishwasher safe and  easy to clean.

Q: What is the main difference between this and  standard porcelain?

A: The main differences are weight, thickness, and  translucency. Bone china is lighter, thinner, and  has a more refined, luminous quality compared to the heavier, more opaque nature of standard porcelain.

Q: How many plates are in this pack?

A: This product is sold as a pack of 6 plates, which is ideal for starting a collection or topping up your existing stock.

Q: What does the 'pearl' colour look like?

A: It's a very subtle, warm, off-white cream colour with a beautiful iridescent finish that catches the light, giving it a luxurious shimmer.

Q: Are these plates suitable for serving main courses?

A: Yes, at 255mm (10 inches), this 255mm porcelain coupe plate is an excellent size for serving main courses, as well as larger appetisers or desserts.
